So here it is the official recap of our Academy salon awards evening, & what a truly unforgettable night it was! This year felt especially meaningful as we celebrated an incredible milestone, 25 years of Academy salons. It was a night filled with glamour, gratitude, and genuine connection.
Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and the energy in the room was nothing short of inspiring. In such challenging times for the hair industry, moments like this remind us just how incredible it is to be part of such a passionate, creative, and supportive community.
As we reflected on a quarter-century of dedication and growth, we also took the time to celebrate the incredible talent within our 5 salons. From our newcomers to our experienced stylists, the level of excellence across the Academy family was nothing short of outstanding.
